About The Artist

Makiko Hicher

Makiko Hicher is a Japanese ceramic artist who trained in Japan. Her ceramics are simple and elegant, highlighting the shape, harmony and nature. The decorations on the ceramics inspired by the landscapes she sees. Her research focuses on the contact of ceramics, the pleasure of feeling the object. Hicher is inspired by the idea of an artwork, perhaps after a shipwreck, that sunk to the bottom of the seas. It would have waited for centuries, alone, gradually covered by algae and shellfish. Thus taking on the colours of the waters surrounding it. It is a work of both sadness and poetry. The poetry and sadness of lost objects forsaken by all, on which time, slowly, leaves its marks. The work also hovers around the idea of the deep seas, marine depths, underwater chasm, which have always frightened the artist, but are tinged with romanticism. All works by Makiko Hicher are produced in stoneware, food and microwave safe. The work is fired in an electric kiln, on which she used a glazing technique, applying natural sponges, the way one would paint a painting.
